Ratios are basically:

for this much of this:theres this much of that

lets say you have 4:1 in spoons and forks.

for every 4 spoons, there is 1 fork. if there is 8 spoons there are 2 forks and so on.  
The percent is 400%



if you meant 1:4 the percent would be 25%. all other rules apply. 
for every 1 spoon you have 4 forks.

Question
99 Points Need Help! How to reflect over y= -x+6
Solution 1
To reflect in the line y = -x + 6, we translate everything down 6 first. This will make it seem like we are reflecting in the line y = -x
                                 (x,y) → (x, y-6)
Then, to reflect in the line y = -x, we switch the x- and y-coordinates and then make them negative
                                 (x,y) → (-(y-6), -x)     
Then we move everything back up again
                                 (x,y) → (-(y-6), -x + 6)          
I will present to you an example. Reflect the point (-4, 8) in the line y = -x + 6.
                                 (-4,8) → (-(8-6), -(-4) + 6) → (-2, 10)
You should graph this out to confirm with the reflection line.
Solution 2

   (x,y) → (-(y-6), -x + 6)

Please Help!!!!!! So i know how to reflect over line y=-x but how would i do it over line y=-x+6. An example would be helpful and a rule for more problems of this kind.

Question
PLEASE!!! I NEED THIS ANSWER DESPERATELY Data is collected for the average april temperature and degree of latitude The line of best bit for the data is found where L is the degree of latitude and T is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit T = -7/6I + 84 Predict the temperature at a latitude of 60
Solution 1
The answer to this question is 14 degrees Fahrenheit.
T(60) = (-7/6)(60) + 84 = 14
Solution 2
The answe is 14 I hope I helped
Question
(3n-1)(3n+2) ...anyone know this?...
Solution 1
The answer to this question is 9n^2+3n-2. We expand this polynomial factored with the distributive property
(3n-1)(3n+2) = 3n(3n-1)+2(3n-1) = 9n^2 - 3n + 6n - 2 = 9n^2 + 3n - 2
Solution 2
The first step for solving this expression is to multiply each term in the first parenthesis by each term in the second parenthesis (FOIL method)
3n × 3n + 3n × 2 - 3n - 2
Calculate the product of the first two numbers.
9n² + 3n × 2 - 3n - 2
Calculate the product of the next set of multiplication.
9n² + 6n - 3n - 2
Collect the like terms that have a variable of n to get your final answer.
9n² + 3n - 2
This means that the correct answer to your question is going to be 9n² + 3n - 2.
Let me know if you have any further questions.

Question
Find the volume of a right prism with height h=10 cm, if the base is a trapezoid with height htr = 3 cm and bases of 2 cm and 5cm
Solution 1

We have been given that the base of the prism is a trapezoid. Hence, first of all we find the area of the trapezoid.

Trapezoid has height 3 cm and bases of 2 cm and 5 cm.

Hence, the area of the trapezoid is given by

A=\frac{a+b}{2} \times h\\
\\
A=\frac{2+5}{2} \times 3\\
\\
A=\frac{21}{2}

Therefore, the volume of the right prism with height h=10 cm is given by

V=\text{Base area }\times { height}\\
\\
V=\frac{21}{2} \times 10\\
\\
V=105 cm^3

Therefore, the volume of the right prism is 105 cubic centimeters.

Solution 2
Area of the base = 1/2 x 3 x ( 2 + 5 ) = 10.5 cm²

Volume =10.5 x 10  = 105 cm³


Answer:  105 cm³
